JKC are proud to announce that we are now members of the British Land Reclamation Society

The BLRS (British Land Reclamation Society) is a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary organisation concerned with the reclamation, rehabilitation and restoration of land, including contaminated, derelict and abandoned land from mineral working and former urban and industrial uses.

Leading treatment specialist, Japanese Knotweed Control (JKC) continues to work extensively with local authorities and housing associations throughout the UK, typified by two of its long term clients in Manchester and London.

Environment minister George Eustice was reported in late July as saying that there are "no plans to attempt a national eradication" because of the "prohibitively expensive" £1.5bn cost of eliminating Japanese knotweed across the UK.

Amenity Forum chairman Professor John Moverley said the media coverage could cause unnecessary alarm among homeowners and the general public.

Japanese knotweed "can still be effectively managed in a controlled manner and without prohibitive cost, providing there is early identification of the problem and the work is carried out by competent and professional treatment specialists", he added.

Moverley said the reports could overshadow the fact that professionals have actually achieved "significant success" in controlling the weed.

"The battle has not been lost and the last thing we want to see is landowners doing nothing because they feel they don't have an effective control method available to them."

David Layland, managing director of specialist operator Japanese Knotweed Control, agreed that the media coverage could potentially send out the wrong message.

Joint Managing Director, David Layland commented: "We anticipated that a change of venue would open up a whole new audience of potential customers across both the public and private sectors and this was certainly borne out by the number and quality of visitors throughout the show.

"Such was the interest that we handed out two days' worth of brochures within the first morning and we now have some excellent leads to follow up in terms of potential treatment projects."

Layland was also part of a four-strong invited panel at one of the popular 'Learning Live' seminars that ran throughout the show.
